The situation is even more worrying for Sri Lanka. Apart from Chanaka Welegedara's five-wicket haul in the first game against India, no pace bowler has been impressive, and the pick of the attack has been the young offspinner, Suraj Randiv. Their two most experienced bowlers, Nuwan Kulasekara and Thilan Thushara, have been poor and Suranga Lakmal all over the place. Too much pressure has been put on Randiv and Perera, and neither can be expected to carry Sri Lanka's attack.
After Sri Lanka's defeat on Sunday, Sangakkara admitted that the result had robbed them of some momentum going into the final. The mantra for this series has been simple - field first. With that in mind, the bowling will have to be extremely proficient.
